#2361 (Conversion from VMWARE VMDK to RAW to VDI under Windows ?) - VirtualBox

I tried to convert a VMWare single VMDK file to a raw disk using Qemu on Windows ( http://www.h7.dion.ne.jp/~qemu-win/ ) with the command "qemu-img convert , then using "convertdd ". I want to use the snapshot feature within Virtual Box, therefore I try the conversion and do not use the VMDK file directly. https://www.virtualbox.org/ticket/2361

Depending on the size of your .vdi file, the time for conversion may greatly vary. http://community.spiceworks.com/how_to/show/1152
Oracle today released VirtualBox 4.1.16, a maintenance release of VirtualBox 4.1 which improves stability and fixes regressions. See the ChangeLog for details.
